10 Legends You Won't Believe Are Out Of Contract Next Summer
4. Michael Carrick
Manchester Uniteds creator in central midfield could well be leaving Old Trafford next summer, with the England internationals contract nearing its final year. Carrick, who will turn 34 next summer, is also currently sidelined with what could be a lengthy injury, so his time with the Red Devils could well be coming to an end as a result of a lack of action this campaign. With United expected to do business on at least one centre-midfielder, that looks likely to become even more of an issue. Carrick is one of the most successful players in the Premier League who is still currently in the top tier, with the midfielder having won five Premier League titles, one Football League cup and one Champions League. With more than 600 career games under his belt, the chance to sign a successful and experienced midfielder will mean interest in his signature will arise during the January transfer window. The Manchester United man has had a great club career, and despite his advancing age, he wont be without offers as his deal runs down.
